Last month, Punjabi University vice-chancellor Prof Arvind suspended two officials and terminated a contractual peon after a fact-finding committee indicted them in an embezzlement case.
Those suspended were identified as senior assistant Nishu Chaudhary and superintendent Raminder Kaur while the peon was identified as Jatinder Singh.
Both Nishu and Ramnider were regular employees and they were even transferred from the university.
The matter came to light after an internal audit department and the finance wing flagged issues in five bills amounting to Rs 6 lakh.
